This is the track that Roger Bannister trained on in preparation for breaking the 4 minute mile while working at the nearby St Marys Hospital. We share use of this public track.
Paddington Track
The sessions are delivered by EA qualified coaches; Gavin Edmonds (Athletics Coach Endurance). Lina Ambruleviciute (Athletics Coach Endurance), Ewan Maynard (Assistant Athletics Coach).
The sessions are for Endurance Athletes and Triathletes with a leaning toward speedwork suitable for Marathoners.
You should have a specific time-based goal to attend this session and know your current paces and lap times, ie 3k, 5k, 10k pace, etc.
There is no minimum standard for this session but you should be regularly running 30 miles per week over 4-7 runs to make the most of it and be comfortable in completing the session. For Triathletes, this may be less but you would ideally be around sub 2:45 for an Olympic distance triathlon.

Interested in joining Serpentine? We welcome experienced athletes who have trained on track before to join one of these sessions prior to joining the club. If you haven’t trained on track before and wish to meet us, come along to one of our social runs.
Please meet punctually at 7pm by the sprint lanes/ main start line for a dynamic warmup and drills, having already jogged 1km. The session finishes around 8pm.
If you have any questions about your training please feel free to contact our coaches Gavin. Lina or Ewan.
